Introducing the Shun Classic 8-in. Kiritsuke, a culinary powerhouse often hailed as the master chef's knife. This multipurpose knife is a favorite among Japanese master chefs, renowned for its exceptional cutting performance and versatility.
Crafted with precision, the razor-sharp 16° edge on each side ensures enduring sharpness, making it perfect for a wide range of kitchen tasks. The blade boasts 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side (68 total), not only providing robust support to the core but also enhancing stain resistance and facilitating easy food release from the blade.
